Picked these items up over the last week from ebay or the LHS:
Postwar Lionel U.S. Army Transportation CORPS #41 Gas turbine switcher. Had been sitting in my LHS for AWHILE but I had assumed it had gotten some maintenance. Went to run it, and it was making A LOT more noise than expected(I heard these were loud- but didn't sound right). Opened it up- Possibly the dirtiest motor box I've ever cleaned- the black grime was unbelievable. Gave it a thorough cleaning and now it runs great and sounds fine!
MTH RealTrax Lockon, 2 lights to put in different structures, and a BCR to install in my Protosound Amtrak AEM-7. Also picked up quite a few pieces of realtrax as I'm thinking of using that on my layout.
Corgi Tactical Strike USMC Infantry Set. 1:64th scale. Smaller than expected but will look nice on the more toy portion of my layour
Out of box Corgi figures. On the left is an o-line reproductions 1:48/o-scale figure to compare size different
2 new modern era rolling stock pieces and a postwar small motorized switcher- the later of which I've wanted for awhile
Green LV 16258 Boxcar from mid 90s. Will look nice on my LV consist
CNW work caboose- was only 5 bucks. Thought it looked pretty cool
O-line Reproduction soldier hitching a ride on the side of the switcher

Trying to keep the size of figures consistent on the more scale portioned part of my layout so between the bride unknown maker of the US army soldier.
